Actor Lee Jun Ki and actress Jeon Hye Bin have denied being romantically involved with each other after recently being swept up in relationship rumors.

Representatives for both screen idols today, June 19, delivered a joint statement, saying, “The two individuals have good chemistry but are just friends and are not dating.”

Lee, 33, and Jeon, 31, worked together on KBS2’s hit period series Gunman in Joseon last year and enjoyed such good chemistry that media outlets in Korea are now reporting that the two have continued that chemistry off-screen.

Reports insisted that there is an ongoing rendezvous between the pair at an exclusive fitness centre at a top Seoul hotel known for protecting the privacy of its A-list members.
